## Child Physical Abuse

## Child Emotional Abuse

## Child Neglect

## Child Sexual Abuse

## Child Sexual Abuse continued - additional search terms

## Child abuse - search terms returning highest volumes for each domain

Note: for the “[perpetrator] is not home” and “[perpetrator] not home” searches, when I did a quick search of these using “mom” as the perpetrator in google (incognito so that we don’t artificially inflate results), a series of YouTube videos called “When mom isn’t home” accounted for all of the results on the first page of results. Additional, the search term “[perpetrator] never home” returned much lower volume, so I worry that these “not home” terms might be capturing something we aren’t interested in.

## Child abuse - search terms returning highest volumes for each domain (excluding '[perp] is high', '[perp] is not home, and '[perp] not home' terms)
